DRAW – All 6 Divisions will be Double Elimination Format

Per existing rule, 4-team leagues will be guaranteed 2 entries, 5-6 team leagues will be guaranteed 3

entries and leagues with 7-8 teams or more will be guaranteed 4 entries and 9 or more teams will be

guaranteed 5 entries into the C.I.F. Southern Section Individual Wrestling Championships. The

brackets for each division will reflect the total number of guaranteed entries of the leagues in that

division. There will no longer be a random draw for additional alternates to add wrestlers to

those brackets. If a league loses an entry prior to the start of the tournament, that league can replace

that entry with an alternate from that league first. If no Alternate from that league is present, then the alternates

from other leagues can be drawn in. Wrestlers that have a first round bye, and win their second round

match, will receive two (2) advancement points for round one in addition to their second round

advancement points. Page Four

WEIGH-IN AND GROOM CHECK – OFFICIALS WILL BE PRESENT AT ALL WEIGH-INS

Each divisional meet will conduct weigh-ins and grooming check at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 16, and

on Saturday, February 17, at 9:00 a.m. All wrestlers must be present at the weigh-in area at the

beginning of weigh-ins. All weigh-ins will begin with the 106 lb. class and progress in order up to the 285

lb. class. When all wrestlers for a weight class have had an opportunity to weigh-in and the next class is

called, that weight class is closed. Each coach is expected to be present to identify his wrestlers during

weigh-in to prevent misunderstandings and/or mistakes. Grooming will be checked prior to weigh-in. Each

wrestler is to have his hand stamped after making weight/grooming. The 2-pound weight allowance will be

in effect.

ENTRY BLANKS

The manager of each league-wrestling tournament has been furnished with official entry blanks. It is his

responsibility to complete and fax one copy each to the appropriate divisional meet manager, and to the CIF-

SS office, BY 10:00 A.M., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2018. The league meet manager, for reference,

should retain a third copy.

ENTRY FEE

No entry fee will be charged to member schools.

ELIGIBILITY LIST

Once you have completed the Team Roster information, the Eligibility Form requirement will be satisfied.

Please make sure this is completed prior to the first playoff competition.

SEEDINGS AND AUTHORITY

WRESTLING SEEDING WILL AGAIN BE DONE BY COMMITTEE ONLY

Seeding will be done by a seeding committee made up of League Representatives and members of the CIF

Wrestling Advisory Committee. A Short Tournament organizational meeting will be held for coaches at 7:00

PM to discuss tournament procedures and announce the seeded wrestlers. The decisions of the seeding

committee will be final.

COASTAL DIVISION

Page Five

The seeding committee will meet at 4:00 pm. Thursday the week of the individual divisional meet. The

Tournament director will be responsible for selecting an individual to run the committee seeding meeting.

The Tournament Director and the Seeding Director will meet with the CIF-SS administrator in charge of

wrestling the Tuesday prior to the seeding committee meeting to discuss the proper procedures for running

the seeding meeting.

The seeding committee will be made up of:

• Tournament Director

• Seeding Meeting Director

• One representative from each league

• Any member of the CIFSS Advisory Committee

The seeding committee will have the responsibility of seeding each weight class based on information

shared on paper from each league representative. Wrestling Advisory Committee member will assist in this

process

The seeding committee will follow the stated CIFSS seeding criteria.

All coaches are responsible to have in the hands of their league representatives the pertinent information for

their individual wresters immediately after the league finals to include prior results of who has beaten whom,

State placement, CIFSS placement, tournament results and total records. It is the responsibility of that league

representative to see that his league wrestlers are appropriately seeded.

At 7:00 p.m., there will be a general meeting of “all coaches” where tournament information will be shared

along with the seeds. Any seeding “anomalies” that need to be corrected will be done at that time by the

Seeding Director.

ALTERNATES

The manager of each league finals meet will provide for the selection of alternates from his league for

representation at the divisional finals meet. No alternates will wrestle unless their names are listed (league

finals managers only are responsible for alternates). Each alternate should be notified of the time schedule

for the divisional finals meet, and plan to be present, in case he is called upon to wrestle. Should an opening

occur after the league entries are submitted, that opening will be filled from the alternate list submitted by

that league.

FORFEIT RULE

If a wrestler forfeits, or fails to show for a championship or third-place match in any of the divisional meets,

the winner will be given his choice of accepting either first or second place, or third or fourth place. This

decision must be made at the time of the forfeit and so indicated to the Divisional Meet Manager. This

procedure will also be used in the Masters Meet.

COACHES

CIF-SS rules state that during tournament competition, a maximum of two (2) team coaches will be

permitted to sit in the restricted coach’s area. Facilities permitting, coaches shall be seated at least 10 feet

from the official’s table and the edge of the mat. The coach must have a coach’s badge to be in the mat area

or to enter through the participant’s entrance. Mat maids, other participants, spectators, or other coaches

violating this rule may be asked to leave the gym.

PROTESTS

By action of the CIF Council at its March 1983 meeting, protests of playoff contests involving National

Federation Rules will not be entertained following the conclusion of the contest. Coaches may direct

questions to the officials, as they pertain to a possible misapplication of the rules, in accordance with the

National Federation Rules governing that sport. No protest may be carried forth once the contestants have

left the mat area. Coaches are encouraged to carry a National Federation Wrestling Rule Book with them for

all playoff contests. Schools will still have the opportunity to protest a contest in accordance with Southern

Section Rules 1110 and 1111, as they pertain to the use of ineligible players, or violations of any CIF-SS

rule, in connection with the contest.

OFFICIALS

Officials for all Divisional Championships, and the Masters Meet, will be assigned from the Commissioner’s

office.

SEEDING PROCEDURES

These criteria, developed and supported by the C.I.F. Southern Section Wrestling Coaches Advisory

Committee, are to be followed in order. When conflicts arise, they are to be resolved by a vote of the

League Representatives. The Seeding Director is responsible for all final seeding decisions.

1. Criteria for seeding

a. Most recent head-to-head competition

b. A returning State placer

c. A returning State qualifier (placed in the C.I.F.-SS Masters Meet)

d. A returning C.I.F.-SS place winner

e. A wrestler with the best overall “representative” record against quality opposition.

Note: Coaches need to be able to provide verification of their wrestler’s results

Voting Procedure

When there is considerable disagreement, argument or otherwise, the League Representatives should

vote. This vote would follow a two-minute presentation by the wrestler’s coach only of facts

concerning the desired wrestler to be seeded. Only representatives may vote on a one (1) vote per

league basis.

2. The Seeding Director will make an arbitrary seeding as a starting point for seeding.

3. A short “orderly” discussion will follow and League Representative, if necessary, will quickly

vote upon each seed.

4. The remaining positions will be by draw. Where possible, leagues will be separated. No more

than 8 wrestlers per weight will be seeded.

5. Alternates will weigh-in along with qualifiers. The first alternate from each league will take

the place of a qualifier in his league who does not make weight or is a no show. If a qualifier is

overweight, injured, etc., and there is no alternate present from that league, there will be a

random draw of other league alternates to fill that spot.

6. If a seeded wrestler does not show up, then each seeded wrestler will move up, and the bracket

will remain the same, unless there is inter-league conflict, at which time the non-seeded wrestlers

will be drawn again.

7. The Seeding Director has the power to make final seeding decisions.
